Mountain Wormwood

Natural Mountain Wormwood

Mountain wormwood is an authentic wild natural herb extracted from the Artemisia plant that grows in mountainous heights and dry wild lands in the Levant, Egypt, and the Arabian Peninsula. It is distinguished by its strong, penetrating, unique aroma that is unlike anything else — spicy, bitter, and deep, carrying the scent of the wilderness and authentic mountains. Wormwood has been known in traditional Arabic and Islamic medicine for centuries and was mentioned by Ibn Sina, Al-Razi, and great Arab physicians in their medical books as a powerful natural treatment for parasites, the digestive system, and the respiratory system. It contains absinthin, thujone, and chamazulene, which give it its unique exceptional therapeutic properties.
